F3 is ok. I would skip over it though and go to StudioOne.
Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet?
I am curious about improving my sound with power cable upgrades.
At present, I'm using a setup which Almarg (RIP) used and which he recommended to me:
Wall outlet (hospital plug)
Audience Adept Response-ar2p power conditioner
Wiremold strip w/ Shunyata defender
I use Pangea AC 9 SE and AC14 SE cords, at present.
This setup has been quiet and hum free.
Still I'm curious about whether better power cables might make some improvements, here or there.
The question is, whether any improvements a power cable could bring would be blunted or nullified by the setup I'm presently using.
Any thoughts?
Those who say power cables never matter, please go watch a cute cat video instead of posting here, please.

@audphile1 You skip over the $180 cable and go for the $1500 cable. I want to party with you -- no stops on this train. This is the Express! ;-) |
Thanks. That's what I figured, and why I felt that the nice advice I got from Audience directly was really just a way to get me into their products but not really likely to change much about what I was hearing. I'm looking at used prices for the model you mentioned, and it's probably something I could do. Of course, if I aim to put these on the mono blocks, the cost doubles, if I can find two of them. Perhaps just get one and either try it on my solid state stereo amp? Or on an upstream component, such as the DAC?
